A DAST HsD,S DEED.
A Train Wrecked to Crafty q
drudge by Unknown Parties.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 12.-The
south-bound passenger train on the Mis-
souri, Pacific extension, which left Omaha
last night and was due here this morning,
was wrecked near Dunbar, Neb.. about
midnight. The wreck was caused by the
loosening of rail done by parties un-
known. Several spikes and fish plates had
been removed and the train coming along
at the rate Of thirty miles an hour, plunged
fifty feet down an embankment and landed
in snow drift. James Dewitt of Wyan-
dOtte, Kan, engineer, was caught under
the boiler and killed, his body not being re.
covered at last accounts. Frank Henowets,
express messenger, whose home is in this
city, was internally hurt and may die. A
lady, whose name was not learned, was
badly hurt. but the other passengers were
not seriously injured as far as known here.
All We're shaken up, however. and more or
less bruised. The entire train left the
track, and probably the loss of life
would have been greater except for
the snow bank. which broke the
force of the plunge. Missouri Pacific
officials here state that the wreck is result
of a third attempt upon the life of Dewitt,
the engineer. They say some of the men
engaged in the strike last spring cherished
grudge against Dewitt because he was an
active supporter of the company during the
great strike. They assert that the wreck
near Wyandotte, for which Hamilton has
just been tried, was the result of plot
against Dewitts life, but his train was not
the first to pass over the track as they ex-
pected. Subsequently they say a second
attempt was made and last night is tho
third. Several suspicious looking men, is
is said, were seen lettering around the sta
tion at Dunbar last night. Tracks were
found leading from the scene of the wreck
which may furnish clue to the sheriffs,
and several others are searching the neigh
borhoOd and a reward will be offered for
the wreckerS. A number of California
eXcurSionists were among the party. The
belated passengers will reach here to-day.

Suspicion Attached to Him Because
His Wives Died OFF Too
Rapidly.

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-This afternoon the
neighbOrS in the vicinity of 553 Larrabee
street were surprised at seeing the funeral
of girl known as Lucy Krug stopped by
the police as it was about to leave the house.
Soon after several detectives and Deputy
Coroner Barret and his assistants arrived on
the scene. The cause of the excitement was
the rather suspicious C circumstances sur
rounding the death of Lucy, who was
good-loOking girl of 10. In September,
1885, Lawrence Krug. a carpenter. was
married to Mrs. Heidelmeyer, sister of
Officer Heidelmeyer. of the Rawson street
police station. and Lucy was her daughter.
Krug and his bride started on wedding
trip TO New York, he previously insuring
his wife's life for $1,000 in the knights and
Ladies of Honor. When on their wedding
tour Mrs. Krug died, and Mr.. Krug was
married again in New York He had been
at home for few months when his second
wife, whose life had also been insured in
the same association. died. Two months
after her death he married Mrs. Albertlna
Rohr, who was 46 years old, nine years
older than Krug. This was in September
last. Six weeks later she was attacked
with typhoid fever and died. This last
Mrs. krug was also insured in the Knights
and Ladies of Honor. During her illness
she was attended by DR.. Kallstein. Some
comment was made at the time, and sus-
picionS were aroused at her death. The in
surance was made out to her daughter,
Mrs. Charles Anderson. He was not salts
fed until he had forced Mrs. Anderson to
make over her claims on the Insurance to
him. Lucy Heidelmyer, or Krug as she
was generally called, was insured in the
same association, and the policy was made
payable to her step-father, Krug. He was
placed under surveillance. DR.. Bluthardt
will make post mortem examination on
the body.
The funeral cOrtege was delayed for an
hour and half while the post mortem ex-
animation was being held. The result was
the announcement that the girl had died
from natural causes in tine form of affec-
tions Of the liver and kidneys. Krug, who
had been

released and the funeral proceeded The
coroner's jury adjourned until Friday. 1t
has not been generally known until now
that when Krug's first wife died the
Knights and Ladies of Honor were greatly
aroused, and secretly eXhumed the body.
Nothing suspicious could be found. how
ever, and the organization paid Krug the
insurance. The policy on the fourth victim
lapsed few weeks ago, but the fact was
unknown to the girl or to Krug.
